Filesystem uids which don't map into a user namespace may result
in inode->i_uid being INVALID_UID. A symlink and its parent
could have different owners in the filesystem can both get
mapped to INVALID_UID, which may result in following a symlink
when this would not have otherwise been permitted when protected
symlinks are enabled.

Add a new helper function, uid_valid_eq(), and use this to
validate that the ids in may_follow_link() are both equal and
valid. Also add an equivalent helper for gids, which is
currently unused.
